FxWirePro: EUR/GBP rangebound in the Asian session, bias lower

• EUR/GBP failed to extend gains above 0.85 handle on Thursday, is trading a narrow 12 pip range in the Asian session.
   
• The pair is currently holding support at 0.8421 which is 78.6 % Fib retrace of 0.8304 to 0.8852 rally.
   
• Recovery attempts in the EUR after Francois Bayou's withdrawal from French Presidential race proved fragile.
   
• The common currency remains undermined by mounting geopolitical concerns in the euro area and resurgence of Greek debt crisis.
   
• In absence of economic events in the EUR calendar, the major will likely remain at the mercy of the France-German 10-year yield spread.
   
• Technical studies are bearish, we see scope for test of 0.83 levels. Violation there could see 0.8250.

Support levels - 0.8421 (78.6% Fib), 0.84 (Feb 22 low), 0.8367 (88.6% Fib)

Resistance levels - 0.8455 (5-DMA), 0.8471 (200-DMA), 0.8513 (61.8% Fib)
